The Glasshouse

Chihuly Garden and Glass, a long-term exhibition, opened at Seattle Center in 2012; not to be missed.

The centerpiece of Chihuly Garden and Glass is the Glasshouse. A 40-foot tall, glass and steel structure covering 4,500 square feet of light-filled space, the Glasshouse is the result of Chihuly’s lifelong appreciation for conservatories. The installation in the Glasshouse is an expansive 100-foot long sculpture in a color palette of reds, oranges, yellows and amber. Made of many individual elements, it is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. The perception of the artwork varies greatly with natural light and as the day fades into night.

I've seen this or a similar display at the New York Botanical Gardens.  The massive size, dimensions and color are amazing.  Always worth a trip to view.
